Operational and Ejection Emergency Procedures
e.
Low altitude ejection (below 18,000 ft)
(1) Successful low altitude ejection depends
primarily on the following being within limits
(a) Dive angle
(b) Sink rate
(c) Angle of bank
(d) Airspeed
(e) Altitude
(2) Ejection on takeoff or in landing pattern
(a) Keep right hand on stick to maintain
proper attitude
(b) Pull ejection handle while maintaining
proper body position
(3) Convert any excess airspeed to a climb to
slow aircraft and improve ejection seat
trajectory
NOTE: The additional altitude increases
the time available for seat separation and
parachute deployment.
(4) If aircraft is descending out of control, eject
by 10,000 ft AGL. If the aircraft is
descending under control, do not delay
ejection below 2,000 ft AGL.
WARNING: Do not delay ejection if the
aircraft is nosedown and cannot be
leveled.
